The science of sound plays a crucial role in the design of modern buildings. The production and transmission of sound has a direct impact on the health and safety of all buildings and their inhabitants.
At NDY, our specialist sound team has been providing acoustic consultancy services since 2000. We use the latest industry software packages, including our own proprietary software, to fully understand all acoustic implications in the built environment. We also use outdoor noise propagation software to undertake a full analysis of the potential noise impact of building projects on their surrounding environments.
Our team provides practical acoustics advice. An integral part of NDY’s acoustics philosophy is the provision of detailed testing during a building’s construction phase. This ensures that problematic design or construction practices are identified before they are installed across a project.
By combining technical engineering expertise and speciality skills, our team provides expert consulting for all facets of acoustic design in new and pre-existing developments.
NDY utilises its international research and development committees to ensure that all clients have access to international best practice standards in system design. Our global knowledge base, which has been built-up by undertaking projects throughout the world, is shared throughout the group.
NDY’s sound experience includes providing: acoustic design of listening rooms for speech and music; advice on room layout and selection of internal finishes; recommendations on the control of noise and vibration from proposed designs; assessing the noise impact from existing or planned developments; and vibration monitoring and advice.
